We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

Agents Note We understand from the vendor that the property was underpinned in 1985, and this went from in front of the kitchen window, round the right hand side (facing) of the property, and along the rear.
We understand that this would now be classed as historic.
Building Regulation approval was obtained at the time and some paperwork is in place but we do not believe there to be drawings as these works were carried out such a significant period of time ago.
